On September 21, 2024, Rotary District 7090 hosted its fifth annual "Participate for Polio" event, a significant initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds to eradicate polio. This year, the event took place simultaneously on both sides of the U.S.- Canada border, with activities planned in Grand Island, New York, and St. David's, Ontario.
The US event was held at a new location starting in the Beaver Island Park and running on the West River Trail, part of the Niagara Greenway Trail system. Walkers and Cyclists participated raising $3,633 toward the End Polio Campaign. The Steering committee who came together to plan this year’s event will build on this experience to improve results next year.
